Her service offering centres on signature blonde and balayage work alongside a range of customised colour services.

Locally, Rose Nesbit presents as a specialist option for lived-in blondes, soft dimension and expert colour work in a relaxed setting.

Your Google listing

Rose Nesbit's Google Business Listing shows a very healthy profile with a 9.5/10 health score, underpinned by complete listing controls and direct contact options. Key strengths include a claimed listing, open-for-business status, an accessible website link, a visible listing title, and a phone number for easy client outreach. Opportunities focus on imagery and refining the description for top-tier standing.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    ClaimedYour listing is claimed, so you control what it says, you can reply to reviews, and edits suggested by the public come to you first.
  • ✓
    NameYour business name is showing on the listing, so a customer searching for you by name finds you, and everything else on the listing hangs off it.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.

Your reviews

Rose Nesbit - Blonde & Balayage Specialist shows a solid overall health on Google Business with a 7.5/10 score and a top 10% star rating. The strongest finding is the excellent customer satisfaction reflected in the high star rating, while the business is still growing its review base and engagement with customers. Focus remains on maintaining rating quality and encouraging more reviews.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.
  • 3
    Response rateYou answer more of your reviews than the middle of this market, so a customer scrolling your page mostly finds you there.

I’ve been travelling from Ashburton to Christchurch every 7 weeks to have Rose do my hair for at least 4 years now. She nails my blonde every time and kindly tells me no, when my ideas for my hair just won’t work! We have great chats and I...

Thankyou so much Jacquie 🩷 I appreciate you making the trip to see me 🥰

Where customers find you

Rose Nesbit - Blonde & Balayage Specialist shows an above-average health score with solid social presence. The strongest asset is an outstanding Instagram profile and a TikTok directory listing that enhances discoverability. Key opportunities include creating a Yellow profile, establishing a NoSecretSalon listing, and adding a LinkedIn presence to humanise the brand.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Having a Facebook page at allWe turned up your Facebook Profile page, but only barely, and nothing you own points at it - your website does not link to it and it is not on your Google listing.
  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe found your Tiktok Profile page through search rather than through anything you own.
  • 3
    Yellow ProfileWe could not find an active Yellow Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    A cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Where your page link pointsNothing in your page details points at a website, so a visitor who has read your posts and wants prices, hours or a booking form has nowhere to go next but back to search - where your competitors are waiting.
  • 2
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.
  • 3
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Rose Nesbit's published hours hit several high-demand windows but leave notable weekday gaps. Strong alignment occurs on Friday 11am and Saturday 11am-1pm plus Tuesday 3pm, matching clear local search peaks. However, the salon is closed during multiple Tuesday lunchtime hours and Wednesday noon when demand is high. No evidence of open hours during low-demand times, so adding a few weekday midday slots could be commercially useful.
